Webster man charged with secret sex taping

WEBSTER — A 40-year-old Webster man has been arrested for secretly videotaping two instances of sexual intercourse with his girlfriend, according a police report.

A female walked into the Webster Police Station mid-afternoon on July 16 in what police described as a distraught and tearful state.

She reported that her ex-boyfriend, Scott R. Bellerose, 40, of 291 Main St., Webster, had videotaped them during sexual intercourse and took one still photo of her buttocks, according to the report.

The victim said a neighbor told her about the recordings, which she then found on her laptop in Mr. Bellerose's apartment when she went there to gather her belongings. The victim told police she did not give consent and was unaware of the recordings taken at Mr. Bellerose's apartment.

"She was very emotional, crying and appalled by what she had found," Webster Police Officer Robert Ela reported.

The victim copied the videos and photograph from her rented laptop to a thumb drive and gave it to police.

According to the report, the victim had a standing restraining order against Mr. Bellerose at the time of her complaint.

Officer Ela arrested Mr. Bellerose at his apartment.

At the police station, the report said, Mr. Bellerose told police the video was made a couple months ago when he and the victim were dating. He said the five- to six-minute video was made with the victim's consent, as was the still photograph of her in partial nudity.

Mr. Bellerose was arranged in Dudley District Court July 17 and charged with photographing an unsuspecting nude person.

Mr. Bellerose was ordered to return to court Sept. 17 for a pre-trial hearing.
